The book The True Southern Pacific Railroad Versus The Texas Pacific Railroad: Speech Of John W. Johnston, Of Virginia, In The Senate Of The United States (1878) is a historical document that presents a speech delivered by John W. Johnston, a senator from Virginia, in the United States Senate in 1878. The speech focuses on the rivalry between two railway companies, the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Texas Pacific Railroad, and their efforts to secure government funding for their respective projects. Johnston argues that the Southern Pacific Railroad is the better option for the government to invest in, as it would provide a more direct route from the East Coast to the West Coast and would benefit the entire country. He criticizes the Texas Pacific Railroad for its lack of experience and argues that it would not be able to complete its proposed route without significant government assistance. The book provides a valuable insight into the political and economic climate of the late 19th century, as well as the importance of railway development in American history. It also sheds light on the role of government in supporting infrastructure projects and the debates surrounding the allocation of public funds. Overall, The True Southern Pacific Railroad Versus The Texas Pacific Railroad is a fascinating historical document that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American transportation history.Contrasting The Plan Of A Genuine Southern Transcontinental Railroad, As Laid Down In S.
